A family practice and urgent care center is the newest way CaroMont Health plans to bring services to Gaston County.

Next month, the health care system will start construction on a new site at 1801 Hoffman Road across from Hoffman Village shopping center, which houses Lowes Foods and Hickory Tavern.

South Gaston’s CaroMont Family Medicine, now located on Riverwood Parkway, will move into the new building with CaroMont Urgent Care, an entirely new practice.

“It expands access points for health care to meet the growing needs of the community with intentional interest in helping people get and stay healthier,” Craig Dunker, vice president of practice management, said in a release about the project.
